England

Rodgers hasn't won anything yet but has already had a better prem season in his short managerial period than either McClaren or Hodgson and took a team from 8th to 2nd in the prem (never been done before in the CL era)

Oooooohhhhhh.
8th to 2nd in one season ........................ an improvement of 6 places ...................... and never been done before.
Cobblers. Pulis moved Palace from 19th to 11th in just half a season ............................ an improvement of 8 places.


Just sayin'

Slime.
 
He is a fact for you Homer - under Hodgson - England have had their worst performance in a finals , first time they exit after just two games.

Hodgson has won minor titles in minor countries on the football map - those are facts homer
Why are you so bitter towards Roy Hodgson..?You are always slating him.It is clear you are always having a pop at him when you join the dots up from all your rants Sherlock..
 
First time since 1958 I think you'll find that they haven't qualified from the group stage. Fact. He has still won more than Rogers and taken Inter to European Finals. As I said, you continue to counter argue. I'm out as its getting boring and you aren't prepared to accept mine or any other view...AGAIN.

Did you read my fact - will say it again

First time England have exit the WC after the first two games

In 1958 they drew all three games and were not out until after the final group game.

Bringing Rodgers into it doesn't change the fact that Hodgson has failed at a big job again
 
There are qualification rules across the world as to who plays for which country so whoever you're referring to is no different to Costa playing for Spain etc and perfectly legitimate

Not supporting your country is, to me, disgraceful but that us " it's only an opinion" !!

Bit of double standards here i think with regards to foreigners....

That's fine but a bit like the Ashes winning side with the South African players, it leaves a bad taste.

The qualification rules are pathetic aswell. Across the globe i.e.;Portugal/Brazil etc
 
Do you really think another Manager would have made a difference????

If so - who?


I believe a different manager would have tried something different in terms of setting up the team and giving it a go

Who -

Take your pick from anyone

I would like to see England follow along the lines of giving ex players a go

Clough I believe has the right way of thinking

Southgate

Or go all out and get in someone like Klopp

So a player can be bought from anywhere in the world to play for whichever club will buy them but anyone who qualifies using internationally laid down rules to play for a country makes you pleased that England have been knocked out and you won't support them

mmmmmm great standards!

Hands off Cloughie Jr...Afterall,he only manages a 'tinpot club' quoted by one of your illustrious followers..:rolleyes:

Priceless.

It's like reading the Bino.

How do feel about arguably Englands best future star being born in Kingston,Jamaica?

Are you not supporting a foreigner as an England fan?

Just be grateful he's now calling him Hodgson, perhaps he's warming to the man!

Mmmmm I'm not sure that I like the way you are going with this, but, I repeat - a player can only play for England under strict qualifying rules so I'm. cool with it!
 
And they've won ....what?

You're slagging off the current Manager because he hasn't won anything and yet 2 suggestions you put forward as a replacement have barely won any games between them.
You need to make your mind up!

I'm guessing you ignored the point when I said I would like to see them follow the same methods as seen by both Germany and Holland and look towards ex players as opposed to managers who have been around for 30 years and amounted to very little.
 
You don't need to Phil, we all know that you don't support your country but have plenty to say about them, their manager and players.

I do support my country - don't support the England football team at the moment and haven't done since 2000 or so

I'm sure I can show an opinion though ?

Many on here don't support Liverpool or Suarez yet certainly have plenty to say about both
